Jose, we contacted RCA prior to publishing this article, and they agreed that the
changes made in the "Brute -70" were desirable improvements. We suggest that you follow the circuit as published in POPULAR
ELECTRONICS. John and Pat, it stands to reason that if you overpower a set of speakers,
they are apt to blow smoke rings. However,
it isn't likely that you would drive any of the
speakers mentioned hard enough to damage
them. Just because a car is equipped with a
300- horsepower engine doesn't mean that you
have to use full power to drive it, nor does it
mean a car will be able to handle the full
power safely, or for any length of time. But
the smooth response to the touch of your toe
and the reserve power make it desirable to
have the big engine. Similarly, judicious use
of level controls will let you enjoy the dynamic range of a high -power amplifier. You
can control the power output from zero to
its maximum rating. Do avoid wide-open opPOPULAR ELECTRONICS

Brian, if you are worried about the high power aspect of the "Brute -70," see our comments above. Among the best sources of a
complete set of plans for a lower power amlifter are the kit manufacturers, and one or
more of them might be persuaded to sell you
a construction manual only. But if you decide
to build an amplifier as described in any of
these manuals. you would be wise to get the

The "Tip" entitled "Use a Motorcycle Battery to Drive Your Projects" (January, 1967),
is an excellent one. However, a much more
versatile 6-volt battery which can be charged
and/or discharged in any position without
any leakage or acid fumes is available from
Centralab distributors as Catalog No. RP626. This battery is rated at 2.6 ampere hour

The advanced circuitry, featuring a
field -effect transistor (FET) to achieve
high input impedance and prevent circuit
loading, includes a high -gain transistor
preamplifier and a packaged imported
audio amplifier that provide so much
gain you can trace a signal right up to
the very input of a receiver with a demodulator probe. Test results can be
monitored visually on a panel voltmeter,
externally on a scope, or aurally on a
built-in speaker or optional headphones.

for less than $150. Both tube and solid state versions are available.
Most of the units generate an offset
carrier signal to produce a gated rainbow
color bar pattern. Only EICO, Hickok
and Jackson generators provide an
NTSC signal. Hickok has two such generators, one at $349.50 and the other at
$549.50. Jackson's unit at $149.95, and
EICO's at $169.00 seem like a breakthrough in price for this type of equipment. There are no NTSC generators
available in kit form.
Amphenol's generator is unique because of its single line and dot output.
Lectrotech's Model V7 is also in a class
by itself with its built -in vectorscope.
Another unusual instrument is B&K's
Model 1076. It is more an analyst type
of instrument than just a color bar generator, and is not listed in the "Guide
to TV Color Bar Generators" on pages
50 and 51. Selling for $329.95, it can generate just about every type of signal
needed to service a black- and -white or
color TV set. Monochrome test patterns

Allied Radio's Knight Kit (Model KG -685, center) is a solid-state instrument. Heath's

signal creates a series of different color bars
on the screen of the color picture tube. A typical
pulse rate (for 10 color bars) is 12 times per

DO
YOU believe in ESP or mental telepathy? Have you ever read the
mind of another person, or received a
"message" from a distant friend or relative? There's no need to feel embarrassed or apologetic about it, for ESP
and thought transference- another name
for mental telepathy -are no longer considered superstitions
For centuries, man has persisted in
his belief that mental telepathy really
exists and that thoughts can be transferred from one person to another without regard to space, time and distance.
But only in the last few years has the
phenomenon been investigated from the
standpoint of "how" rather than "'if.'
Mental telepathy has become a subject
fit for investigation at numerous universities and government laboratories.
Believers in thought transference or
"extrasensory perception,' now include
scientists, philosophers, military officers,
etc. The results of many investigations
which have already been made are intriguing and suggest that the next revolution may be that of mind over matter.
SCIENTISTS ARE

We should not forget that scientists
have succeeded in powering tiny radio
transmitters with the electricity from
the bodies of rats. Electrical measuring
devices implanted in patients or attached
to their bodies can produce signals that
might be transmitted over telephone
wires or even by radio to a central medical facility for diagnosis. The next logical step is treatment by radio; the sending of radio control signals to an implanted receiver. This process is known
as ESB, for electronic stimulation of the
brain.
Research work at Yale University on
ESB has been sponsored in part by the
U. S. Navy's Office of Naval Research.
The U. S. Air Force is also interested in
ESB, and for several years comprehensive tests have been conducted at the
Air Force's Cambridge Research Center
to investigate ESP and ESB.
Electrophonic Hearing. Normally, most
human beings hear with their ears sound
waves transmitted through the atmosphere at a speed of something like 750
miles an hour. However, as long as two
centuries ago, reputable men of science
recorded occurrences where groups of
people instantaneously heard sounds that
were generated 50 miles away! Observers of the great meteor that flashed
through the skies over Great Britain in
1783 heard a sharp hissing sound even
as they watched the fireball.
Obviously, it is impossible to hear a
sound that occurs 50 miles away before
the passage of several minutes, but the
observations of hundreds of listeners
could scarcely be doubted and some kind
of explanation was needed. Scientists
have found it in what they call "brontophonic" sound.

radio frequency beams could convey information to the human brain with no
immediate conversion steps.
Work by other researchers in the field
of electrophonic hearing has turned up
evidence of electrostatic and magnetic
fields surrounding the neurons in the
human body. Presumably, the r.f. electromagnetic field might well interact
with the neurons directly, to produce in
the brain the same sort of perception as
sound waves heard and transduced by
the ear mechanism. Other research work
has suggested that the synapses, or interconnections between neurons, may
act as diodes-furthering the electronic
computer analogy of the human brain.
Perhaps the cerebral cortex, rather than
the ear itself, functions as the radio
receiver.
Radio ESP. Scientists behind the Iron
Curtain refer to ESP by another name:
"Biological Radio Communications."
Their work is highly secret and conducted in carefully guarded laboratories.
However, Russian observers have learned
enough to realize that serious research
work is being done in Moscow, Leningrad, and Omsk. Further, they have
learned that the Russians are convinced
that ESP is actually a form of electromagnetic radiation.
Apparently, such radio ESP is of a far
more complicated nature than had been
supposed by researchers in this country.
For example, the Russians say that ESP
signals are not carried on just one frequency, but on a series of frequencies
scattered throughout the centimeter,
millimeter, and micron bands. Substantiation of the Russian theory was reflected by Dr. Henry K. Puharich, who
has drawn a number of parallels between psychical research and the information and communications sciences.
According to Puharich, who is president of a firm called Intelectron Corporation, the five senses commonly thought

When the desired sound pulse hits the
microphone, the signal is amplified and
passed on to the silicon -controlled rectifier (SUR1) as shown in Fig. 2. Resistor
RI provides a suitable load for the amplifier, and R2 acts as a gate current
limiter for SCR1. Diode DI permits a

The SCR acts like a thyratron tube ..

LITERALLY
AN UNUSUAL TV ANTENNA"
IF
YOU ARE an inveterate experimenter and if you read Russian-especially the Soviet electronics hobbyist journal, Radio -the title of this article may
stir a memory. The antenna described
here was originally presented in the October, 1966, issue of Radio on page 56.
The Editor of Radio stated that he had
received a letter describing a "tiny antenna" constructed by a railroad worker
which was reported to be faithfully capturing TV signals 35 and 65 miles from
the worker's home.

between grid and ground. Note also that
a feedback path is provided from cathode

shield strands of the cable go to the
ground lug under the insulator, together
with the common (ground) lead from
the capacitors. Be sure there is a good
ground to the chassis.
The coax cable is run through a grommeted hole in one side of the case, and
the free end is terminated with a suitable crystal holder that will mate with
your particular crystal socket. Be sure to
mark the pin with the ground shield, as
well as the grounded side of the crystal
socket on your transmitter. Always connect ground to ground.
Alignment. The alignment of the VFO
can be a little tricky, but if you proceed
slowly and carefully, you should have no
trouble at all. Plug the VFO into the
crystal socket of your transmitter ; then
fire up the transmitter and allow it to
warm up with plate voltage applied to
the oscillator only.
Set the VFO's main tuning dial (CI)
near its center of rotation. Turn on your
receiver and set it to a frequency in the
middle of the VFO's expected operating
range. Through the access hole, tune C2
-very slowly-until the receiver picks
up the VFO signal. Alternately tune Cl
and C2 for the strongest signal.
Put a dummy load across your transmitter's antenna output and set the
transmitter to "transmit." If the transmitter loads properly, fine. If it does not,
you are probably working on a frequency
outside of the transmitter tuning range,

To align the transmitter, key the transmitter and adjust the output of the
oscillator for a clean sine wave as displayed on your oscilloscope. Do not increase the output of the oscillator past
the point where the waveform is clipped,
flattened or distorted. If you're using a
multimeter or VTVM, the distortion
point can be determined as that point
where no further increase in output is
obtained as the oscillator level is increased. The output signal (with the circuit shown) will generally be on the
order of 2 -6 volts r.m.s. The exact voltage depends upon the diode and the
meter loading but is not important in
aligning the transmitter.
Watch the scope, or meter, and adjust
the final amplifier tuning and loading for
maximum output. Adjust the controls in
much the same way as you adjust those
designed to tune up for maximum r.f.

tuning for maximum modulation the adjustments are much sharper and more
critical. The two adjustments (in a usual
pi- network) will interact.
It is recommended that you align your
CB rig using an oscilloscope. The scope
will also show if your rig produces distortion, which would result in reduced
intelligibility and waste power output in
audio harmonics.
Results. How much you can expect to
gain by this method of alignment will
depend on the particular CB rig you are
using. Several examples of CB rigs
aligned by the author are included in
Table 1. In some cases, the alignment
made for maximum r.f. output happened
to result in something near the correct
setting for maximum modulation. In oth(Continued on page 102)

ANK YOU for your many letters and
postcards and your favorable reaction
to the first two Information Central columns appearing in the February and March
issues. A considerable number of interesting questions have been received, and if
the flow continues undiminished, the Editor in -Chief may increase the space allocation
of this column.
The questions selected for publication in
this month's installment of Information
Central represent a broad sampling of the
varied activities of our readers. Keep the
questions coming!
Severe Ignition Noise. I use CB in my
small trucks and the ignition noise is driving my drivers crazy. None of the usual
prevention methods (shielding, filtering,
etc.) provide any relief.
When ignition noise gets that bad, the
only practical way to obtain decent reception is to eliminate the ignition pulses in
the i.f. stages-not in the audio. While no
one I know has air -tested every CB transceiver, the POPULAR ELECTRONICS editors
have found that the Squires- Sanders "23'er"
and Lafayette "CB Commander" (HB -600)
both have i.f. noise silencing and are tops in
ignition noise elimination. The effectiveness
of most noise limiters of the audio type vary
according to the circuitry and there's no way
of predicting if one CB transceiver will surpass another -except those with i.f. noise
silencing or quieting.

The "Greenwood" Album. A couple of
old timers have been talking about a book
that lists all of the radio equipment made

isn't any such thing.
It is unlikely that your public library has
a copy of the Harold Greenwood, W6MEA,

1905 -1928." This book was published six
years ago and is the only one we know of

that
even the manufacturer may not have diagnosed. Due to lack of data in this case, all
I can suggest is that poor voltage regulation is the most probable cause of a horizontal drift. If you cannot lock on a 60 -hertz
sweep, suspect every capacitor associated
with the horizontal sweep circuit. If the pattern stabilizes after the scope has reached
its ambient operating temperature, it is
rather improbable that resistors or potentiometers are the source of the instability. Try
substituting some of the more obvious capacitors around the 0.1 p.F value that feed
the horizontal sweep to the remainder of the
scope circuit.
Those GE Universal Transistors. It's all
well and good for GE to claim that its 11
universal replacement transistors can be
used as substitutes for hundreds of other
"2N" transistors, but what are the real spec-
ifications?
To our knowledge, General Electric has
never published any specifications for its
universal replacement transistor line bearing catalog numbers GE -1 through GE -11.
However, as close as we can come to it,
the GE -1 has characteristics comparable to

By 1964, Ray had worked over 2000 different JA's, and the urge to visit them in
their own land became overpowering. So he
and his wife mortgaged the family cars,
drained their bank account, and took off
for Japan armed with the names and addresses of hundreds of Japanese amateurs
and 1000 blank QSL cards. All of the latter were passed out before they were home
again.
The Eichmans traveled over 2000 miles
in Japan -but not a mile over the regular
tourist routes. Instead, wherever they went,
they were the guests of Japanese amateurs
and their families. Ray knew them all, their
joys, their problems. their plans. Every
meeting was like a family reunion.
After the Eichmans' return from what
Ray calls "the land of the friendliest hams,"
he resolved to try to work all of the active
JA's. At the last count, he had worked
some 3538, most of them many times, and
over 2000 of them on 40 meters. Practically
every contact is a friendly conversation, and
not just a "hello -goodby- please -QSL" formality.

Ray does not spend all his on-the -air
time working Japan, however. He is also an
avid, all- around DX chaser, contest operator, and certificate collector. One certificate
that he is especially proud of shows his
honorary membership in the Japanese Blind
Ham's Club; he sells seals similar to Christmas and Easter seals for the club.
Some months ago, Ray was asked if he
would teach amateur radio to a group of
handicapped young men and women at the
Recreation Center for the Handicapped, Inc.,
in San Francisco, because of the tremendous
therapeutic value it would have for them.

THE USE OF integrated circuits in consumer products is increasing at an accelerated pace. Last year several major
manufacturers started to include IC devices
in their TV sets (RCA) and table -model
radio receivers (GE and Philco). Heath
followed suit shortly thereafter with a TV
receiver kit featuring an IC. H.H. Scott,
a major hi -fi equipment producer, is now
using IC's in the i.f. stages of its better line
of FM receivers and tuners. And the latest
entrant in the field is Westinghouse Electric
Corp., with an IC portable phonograph. The
new phonograph uses a conventional record
changer, but the familiar amplifier has been
replaced by an IC measuring only 0.112" x
0.085" and equivalent, performance -wise, to
39 components, consisting of transistors,
diodes, and resistors.

Hickok and Jackson, with their 20 vertical lines and 15 horizontal lines, do
achieve this ratio. The squares appear to
be easier to adjust to than the rectangles that are obtained with different
ratios, although it is not difficult to
look for equidistant parallel lines. The
number of lines is not critical, but there
shouldn't be too many lines to cause
confusion, or too few lines to cause portions of the screen -particularly at the
edges-to be missed.
Generally, the dot pattern is used to
set up static convergence in the center
of the screen, and the line patterns are
used to set up dynamic convergence.
Some generators have a control to adjust
the thickness of the dots and lines. One line- thick, two -lines-thick, three- linesthick, take your choice
may be a
matter of preference. One -line -thick appears to be most desirable, but it is also
the most difficult to see. Actually, thickness is not as critical as having a well-
-it
defined edge for the dot or line, and having a stable, jitter -free pattern to work
with.
The Amphenol 860's single line and
single cross -bar patterns make it easier
to predict proper centering. This instrument also provides a single -dot display
in the center of the screen to facilitate
static convergence adjustments. Absence
of other dots lets you concentrate your
attention on one and the same spot on

outside world are only the very beginning of such communication. As an example of the possibilities, Puharich described techniques developed in his laboratories that permit the totally deaf to
hear some sounds. Beaming super -highfrequency radio signals in the 2- gigahertz
range, Intelectron scientists made all 32
subjects in their test hear what amounts
to a radar beam. Deaf persons heard
not only tones and music, but speech
as well, although it was physically impossible for them to receive normal
sounds (all had total loss of hearing
the cochleas had been totally destroyed).
Puharich also claimed that the sensation of color had been communicated
to subjects purely by radio frequency
signals! Experiments in mental telepathy have also been conducted by Intelectron with positive results, even
though the subjects were placed in
chambers screened from radio frequency
signals. Communication over distances
of 200 miles has been reported.
